Evangelist Daniel Kolenda the successor of Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke has embarked on 15 gospel crusades in Uganda. In addition, the evangelist has together with his team from Christ for all Nations (CfaN), set out to train hundreds of believers on how to become soul winners.

Reports indicate that millions are expected to attend the crusades which started 12th June, 2024, in various places including Hoima, Lira, Kagadi, Busia and Kampala among others

“Right now, teams are on the ground preparing for the 15 Mass Crusades across Uganda and we are expectant of what the Lord will do in the region. Not to mention, the CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp students have just arrived to begin their initiation trip, where they will be preaching in markets, villages and at youth crusades for the next couple weeks, preparing the ground for the harvest. Uganda shall be saved,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that the crusades are organized in collaboration with various local pentecostal and evangelical ministries.

Ev. Kolenda explained that for decades, Christ for all Nations has been blessed to witness the Lord’s mighty hand at work in Uganda. Their first crusade happened in 1989 followed by another in 2022.

“Uganda has held a special place in our hearts and ministry,” he said, revealing that many lives will be transformed by miracles and the outpouring of God’s love.

“We are praying for God to move mightily in Uganda. We believe that as we almost triple our previous efforts, God will triple the salvations and bring about an even greater Harvest of Souls,” he said.

One particular incident Evangelist Kolenda highlighted happened in Hoima, which is known for hosting an occult group with deep attachment to witchcraft.

“In January of this year, one week before the CfaN team started preparations, the cult came to Hoima and had a “crusade” on the same field where we are preaching the Gospel,” he said.

“They claimed Hoima for their cult, performing witchcraft on each corner of the city. Tonight I directly confronted this (and other) demonic strongholds in the region. I declared the Lordship of Jesus over this land and the people responded with unbridled enthusiasm. I felt like the ground was shaking under their shouts of joy,” he said, noting that his team later burned witchcraft and occult paraphernalia. 


About Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke

The influencial evangelist was principally known for his Great Gospel Crusades throughout Africa. The son of a pastor, Reinhard surrendered his life to Christ at age nine, and heard the call to the African mission field before he was a teenager.  When, in 1974, the Holy Spirit spoke to Reinhard in a recurring dream about “a blood-washed Africa,” he founded Christ for All Nations, becoming the inspiring visionary who always spoke of “plundering hell to populate heaven,” a dedicated preacher who saw “signs following” as the necessary evidence of the power of the Gospel to save, heal, and deliver. Reinhard Bonnke’s passion for the Gospel endured until the day he died (December 7, 2019), aged 79 years.
